SINGAPORE, Aug 3 — Further engagement with Myanmar’s military rulers will be of limited value unless progress is demonstrated in implementing an agreed peace plan, Singapore’s foreign ministry said today, summarising discussions at a regional meeting.

Ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) noted recent executions by the junta were a grave setback for Asean’s peace process and disrespected the special envoy’s efforts to find a solution to the conflict, the ministry said in a statement. — Reuters
